Day 4 - Snorkel Trip with Blue Water

This morning we made arrangements to go out with Blue Water Rafting Adventures for a 7am snorkel tour. We got up around 5:30am to give us enough time to get up, have some coffee and make it down to the boat docks by 6:30am.

We took off promptly at 7am and headed straight to the south side of Maui. Captain Larry took us right up to the lava formations along the coast. Many times we could almost reach out and touch the formations. I have a new respect for lava and a new appreciation for the beauty of it.

Our favorite dive of the day was Molokini. It is the top of a volcano crater off the coast of Maui about 3 miles west. The water was amazingly clear and dark blue. When we arrived, there were quite a bit of boats tied up. Luckily, once we got in the water about half of them departed.

The trip ended back at the docks at the Kihei boat landing at 12:30pm. Everyone was a bit done and ready to get the salt washed off.
